Help for WebModels.XLS

1. From the Main Screen select any of the following three worksheets:
Client Side - No Proxy: computes the service demands for
the client side when there is no proxy cache.
Client Side - Proxy Cache: computes the service demands for
the client side when there is a proxy cache.
Server Side: computes the service demands for the Web server.
This worksheet requires that you click on the COMPUTE
DEMANDS button for the service demand matrix to be computed.
2. The service demands generated by this wokbook can be cut and pasted
into either OpenQN.XLS and ClosedQN.XLS, as appropriate, to solve
the performance model. You may want to keep this workbook and
any one of the other open simultaneously.
3. Make sure you pay attention to the units (sec, Mbps, bytes) for each
of the variables.

Tips:
a. Do not change the location of any of the cells. This may render your
workbook unusable or generate incorrect results.
b. Always work on a copy of the original workbook provided with the book.
You may open the original workbook and save it under
another name using the Save As option from the File menu.
